Yajuu no Mai (Dance of Beasts) [FS]

[Sanada Ryu]

"They say that when beasts begin to dance, men will drop and die, blood rushing from their bodies and guts upon the earth. Think that's true?"

The Dance of Beasts, Yajuu no Mai, was founded in Kusa no Kuni by the Band of the Wild some sixty years previous. The style focuses on speed and strength, using a projection of one's own bloodlust as a killing mechanism, confusing the senses or feeling the bloodlust of those around during battle. After being nearly obliterated in a Daimyo war, the survivors began to pass their style on to those who wished to learn, spreading the influence so the band would never die.

[Sanada Ryu]

Sakki no Kanji (Feeling of Bloodlust) Level 1[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 5 meters
Stamina: Very Low
Special: None
Description: ”First you must know your enemy’s intent to kill. Only then can you master your own.”
The user has begun to learn how to sense another’s lust for blood, their intention to attack, even if they try to suppress that feeling. It is not a technique that can be trained, but only achieved through time and experience. It takes the form of something akin to a signal in ones mind. He has by no means any clue of the origin of the Sakki, but the signal might be enough to save the user’s life. Can only sense Sakki within a 5 meter diameter.

[REQUIRES SAKKI NO KANJI LEVEL 1]

Ryuusui no ugoki (Flowing Water motion)[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Personal
Stamina: Very Low
Special: None
Description: Perhaps a very fancy word for an increase skill in their footwork, by quickly changing their steps from long to short and so forth, making the user’s movements now seem more flowing and agile. This allows for a dramatic increase in evasion, allowing one to move much faster than they had previously, so as to evade a taijutsu technique, or ninjutsu that do not cover an area. Make no mistake, this is not automatic, but it does allow for a better chance to save one’s own skin.

Karappo (Hollow)[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Personal
Stamina: Very Low
Special: None
Description: This technique is used to render the user ‘invisible’ to Sakki no Kanji, as well as other mind-reading-esque techniques. While in use, the user will not be sensed by those techniques, so long as his rank is the same as that of the technique (C rank character for C rank technique). However, while in use, Sakki no Kanji and other mind-reading-esque techniques possessed by the user will not be available for use either. A double-edged sword.

Sakki Kensei (Blood Thirst Feint)[/u]
Rank: B
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-5 meters
Stamina: High
Special: None
Description: A normal feint can usually be seen through easily. However, fakes that have been given some kind of ‘soul’ aren’t seen through as easily. By placing the user’s entire bloodlust into the feint and looking into the enemy’s eyes, the feint will seem much, much more real. This will cause some what of a residual affect on the mind, as the intent will cause the enemy to believe the attack is still coming, despite the fact that it has stopped a split second before. This is, by no means, an illusion of any kind, but a psychological warfare technique based on one’s combative mind.

Muteikei (Shapeless)[/u]
Rank: B
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Personal
Stamina: Very Low
Special: None
Description: Standing relaxed with the sword held almost carelessly in his hands, other hand dug into his pocket, even while he yawns, why are there no openings!? That is probably what most swordsmen or fighters would think when faced with the stance that is one of the core techniques of Yajuu no Mai. It has no set form like most stances; instead it varies between the users. They can stand casually, but any intent on attacking them will be met instantly by the sword that was casually held moments ago. That is truly where its name comes from, it has no set shape yet there are no openings in which to attack, and an attack from the user can come from any angle possible. While in this stance, the user becomes almost completely unreadable, except to the utmost trained of eyes.

[REQUIRES MUTEIKEI]

Hien (Flying Swallow)[/u]
Rank: B
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-5 meters
Stamina: High
Special: None
Description: This attack was made originally for the Muteikei stance. As the user swings his blade in a slash from one direction, then like a swallow in flight it changes direction in less than a moment with a sharp flick of the wrist, drastically changing the direction of the cut, catching the opponent unguarded. While this may sound simple, this requires tremendous strength in the wrists. It is the perfect attack for the Muteikei stance, where the opponent will have no idea where the attack will come from or hit. Five uses a thread before a one post cool down, and then the number of uses will reset.

Chimamire Tsubame Gaeshi (Returning Bloody Swallow)[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-5 meters
Stamina: Very High
Special: None
Description: While it is a truly wonderful technique, the weakness of Hein is the strain it puts upon the wrist, but at this stage the user becomes so accustomed that they are able to put together a series of them. Chimamire Tsubame Gaeshi is, in essence, a simple technique. To actually invite for an attack to come, then while it has just been initiated, knock it off its course. Yet together with the mastery of Hein, you keep the momentum by merely changing the direction after knocking the attack away, and striking the opponent while he is off balance. Allows the use of Hein two times in a row every one use of the technique, up to five times (10 Hien), before a one post cool down.

Karasu no Hitomure (Murder of Crows)[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-15 meters
Stamina: Very High
Special: None
Description: ”The crows will descend in the wake of the swallow…”
Grasping their sword, they bring back their arm so that the tip is pointing toward the enemy. Using most of the strength of their upper body they lunge forward. As they begin the thrusting motion, they sink lower and then shoot forward, further increasing the speed of the thrust by using the power of their legs. This is actually a two-point attack. That is because if they manage to pierce their target, they will rip their blade out horizontally (After a twist if necessary), causing a bloody mess. Just the way you like it.

Kainashiken Totte (Useless Sword Taking)[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-5 meters
Stamina: High
Special: None
Description: Only effective against an opponent armed with a bladed weapon, most preferably a sword (but any bladed weapon will work…or weapon in general). While it requires precise timing and overwhelming force, if it succeeds, your opponent will most certainly be leaving this world. When attacked, you dash inside their guard and grab the bottom of their hilt with your hands. Then, while hopefully using their own momentum, you steal the weapon from their grasp and finish the attack in a full circle. Now this is possibly easier said than done, but one tactic may be to parry their weapon aside, or to feint first, or last to overwhelm them with your own bloodlust.

Sakki no Kanji (Feeling of Bloodlust) Level 2[/u]
Rank: B
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-30 meters
Stamina:Very Low
Special: None
Description: The user has, by now, mastered the ability to sense other’s Sakki. They can sense other Sakki, even if it is not directly focused at them, and they can discern between several different sources of Sakki at once. At this stage, the user is able to project their own immense bloodlust so that it may affect others, striking at them psychologically. Those of a rank lower than the user are affected by a gripping fear in their heart, when their eyes meet with the user, yet there is no further affect as of yet.

[REQUIRES SAKKI NO KANJI LEVEL 2]

---

Sakki Shinkirou (Bloodthirst Mirage)[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-30 meters
Stamina: Very High
Special: None
Description: The very aura of the user can be focused in many different ways. When locking their eyes upon the user, his unleashed bloodlust will make it seem as if the user is flickering back and forth, with a maximum of 20 centimeters away from the real body. This can potentially make it harder to hit the user, if ever so slightly. Maintained for a duration of three posts per afflicted enemy. Ineffective afterward.
Domain: Yajuu no Mai

Attou Sakki (Overwhelming Bloodthirst)[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-30 meters
Stamina: Very High
Special: None
Description: When mastering this stage of the sword style, the user’s ability to project one’s own lust for blood has come to the stage when they can overwhelm weaker opponent’s with it. Their full bloodlust is so powerful that it will paralyze (one post) opponents that are weaker than he is himself (one rank lower etc.). Those who are as strong as himself or above are not paralyzed, but will still feel fear when faced with such murderous intent. After the paralysis has passed away, they will almost certainly feel fear, but they can no longer be paralyzed in the same thread.

Sakki no Kanji (Feeling of Bloodlust) Level 3[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 0-50 meters
Stamina: Very Low
Special: None
Description: The user can now feel the presence of a person's Sakki, if they harbor hostile thoughts at all, in a 50 meter radius. It can be nothing but a brief annoyance, a flash of irritation, the user will sense it. An excellent skill when entering foreign soil, making the user able to anticipate the presence of a potential foe before his normal senses would have. Now able to pinpoint the source of each individual Sakki.

[REQUIRES SAKKI NO KANJI LEVEL 3]

Sakki Zenchizennou (Bloodthirst Omniscience)[/u]
Rank: S
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Personal
Stamina: Very Low
Special: None
Description: The complete mastery of reading other’s bloodlust. They are able to read changes in bloodlust and through that they are able to somewhat predict how the opponent will react with the help of reading their body-language. There are limits to this however as they only get a general idea, for example what kind of attack they will launch or from which angle, but to the opponent it will seem like they truly are able to read their mind.

Exactly what I was waiting for. Thanks. haha. Now that I have the template I can finish this.

[Comatose]

E: Very Low, D: Low, C: Mid, B: High, A: Very High, S: Massive

Fit everything accordingly. Nothing can be costless. You can make them cost a rank lower or so if it's logical.

A fighting style would be Stamina, not chakra. You can just remove the chakra portion.

[Sanada Ryu]

Anything that's not following the chakra/stamina ranking system is because it does nothing to warrant such a high cost, thus I changed it's cost accordingly, in order to better fit how it would function. These techniques are either stances, non-physical, or very low physical demand.

[Comatose]

Sakki no Kanji (Feeling of Bloodlust): We don't have sensing techniques, and as this is the main technique / stance of the FS it's a major problem. We don't allow nor want any premonition / sensing techniques of this kind on here.

Overall all of these techniques are much to general and ambiguous. The techniques can have their utility and usability, but they must be specific in to what degree boosts they give if they do. If it boosts one's speed, by what degree? (barring techniques we assume Taijutsu Primary is the fastest) If it boosts strength by how much? (easily done and has been done by allowing some sort of bonus ranked damage or something), stuff like that. Until then, this can't be accepted.

[Sanada Ryu]

Delete this then. I can't chop up the style that much, losing key factors to it and all, is just too much. Move it, kill it, whatever you do with it.

Archived, then. PM a staff member if you ever want to work on it again.
